This volume introduces the reader to the life of Buddha and to two important religious writings in the domain of Buddhism. The first of them is Dhammapada ("The Path of Dharma"), a collection of mostly ethical sayings traditionally ascribed to Buddha and written in Pali. It constitutes a part of the Buddhist canon in the Theravada tradition. The second text, also belonging to the same tradition, is Sutta-Nipata, probably the oldest or one of the oldest Buddhist scriptures reflecting - we can believe - the most conservative form of Buddhism.
